How to Put on a Car Cover?
2 Answers
Spread the car cover evenly from the front to the rear of the vehicle. First, secure the side ear positions of the cover to prevent it from slipping. Then, tighten the cover over the front and rear of the car. Throw the windproof strap under the cover to the other side of the car, then fasten the buckle on the opposite side of the vehicle. Thread the steel cable through the metal ring and throw it to the other side. Finally, lock the ring and cable with an anti-theft lock to complete the process. This method can avoid friction between the fabric and the car paint, utilize air for insulation, and to some extent, increase air circulation.
As a first-time car cover user, I initially thought it was quite simple, but found it requires some technique when actually doing it. Here's how I do it: First, ensure the car is clean, free of dust or twigs to avoid scratching the paint. Then locate the front/rear markings on the cover – usually there are indicators pointing toward the front. Start from the roof, try to spread it flat and gradually pull it downward. After covering, check if the edges fit snugly against the body, paying special attention to side mirrors and the front fascia. If the cover has straps or buckles, secure them to the wheels or chassis to prevent wind from blowing it away. Once I forgot to fasten it and nearly lost the cover in strong wind – I later learned to position the top first before smoothing it out. The whole process takes about 5-10 minutes, just take your time.
